Stronger families create stronger workplaces. Later this month, employers across New Zealand will gain access to a new visa option that supports both. From 29 September 2025, the Parent Boost Visitor Visa<\/span><\/span><\/a> will open for applications, allowing individuals to host their parents in New Zealand for extended stays of up to five years, with the potential to extend to ten.<\/p>
